Has this mother considered antidepressants?  Our many discussions here have
convinced me of their safety while lactating.  Heck!  I'm on Paxil while
breastfeeding and pregnant.  My family practitioner now believes they're
safe enough to take during the first trimester of pregnancy but I'm awaiting
his reference before I believe that.
